extWARN Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

QUESTION: I am running an older version of extWARN. How do I update to the latest?
ANSWER: Follow the steps below to update your extWARN installation:
    If you are running extWARN version 3.24 or greater:
  • 1) Stop IIS on your web server to unload the existing extWARN program files, and to ensure that no users access them during the update process
  • 2) Download EW_330U.ZIP and unzip its contents to the extWARN program folder on your web server, overwriting the existing extWARN.DLL file
  • 3) Run UPDATE.BAT from the extWARN program folder by double-clicking it in Windows® Explorer
  • 4) Restart IIS and access the extWARN administration console as normal via your web browser ... you should see the new version number ("extWARN 3.30") displayed at the bottom of the Broadcast tab

    If you are running an extWARN version older than 3.24:
  • 1) Stop IIS on your web server to unload the existing extWARN program files, and to ensure that no users access them during the update process
  • 2) Back-up the existing extWARN program folder on your web server
  • 3) Uninstall the existing extWARN version via the Add/Remove Programs control panel
  • 4) Download and install the latest extWARN demo version
  • 5) Copy your backed-up extWARN\Data folder to the new extWARN program folder (this will convert the demo into a licensed version)
  • 6) Restart IIS and access the extWARN administration console as normal via your web browser
